Experimental video, 2 min. U-Matic. With Julie Walker.


An experiment in optics and procedural montage.

The shadow of a dancer is seen in the primary and secondary colors of the video spectrum. Her dance is illuminated and multiplied by the three beams of a defocused video projector: red, green, and blue. Her shadow breaks and combines the beams to create the secondary colors: yellow, cyan, and magenta. The dance is ruthlessly edited by a computer using the Fibonacci Series to determine the edits.
